Oakley MOD3 MIPS Helmet Forged Iron

The Oakley MOD3 MIPS is a redesigned helmet built for all-day comfort on the hill. Its in-mold polycarbonate construction keeps weight down, while the BOA 360 Fit System gives you fully adjustable precision adjustment — crucial when you're wearing gloves and need to tighten on the fly. The Fidlock magnetic buckle works smoothly even in thick gloves.

Why we rate it

The modular brim system is clever: you get two different looks from the same helmet, swapping between a full brim or no-brim aesthetic without compromising how your goggles sit. The front goggle air intake and brim ventilation work together to keep your lens fog-free and your head cool. MIPS rotational protection reduces the effects of angled impacts, something worth having if you spend time in terrain. The removable, machine-washable liner with X-Static fabric (which kills odour and bacteria) means it stays fresh through the season. It's a helmet that feels like Oakley thought about the real problems: fit adjustment with thick gloves, goggle integration, and keeping yourself comfortable for hours.

Who it's for

Any skier who values precise fit and integrated goggle performance. The MOD3 suits intermediate to advanced skiers who spend serious time on the hill and want a helmet that handles variable conditions without fogging up. Works across all terrain, but shines for skiers who move quickly and appreciate modern safety features.

Fit and feel

The MOD3 runs true to size. Medium fits head circumference 55–59 cm; Large fits 59–63 cm. The in-mold construction feels light on your head for all-day wear, and the padding is substantial without bulk. The BOA system means you can fine-tune the fit as temperature and conditions change — tighter for icy mornings, slightly looser once you warm up. Goggle integration is seamless if you're running Oakley optics, but it works well with other brands too.
